ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Navy senior distance runner Mary Cate Scully shined with a personal-best and ECAC-qualifying time in the 5,000-meter run as the Navy women's track and field team went 7-0 at the Navy Lid Lifter Thursday night at the Wesley A. Brown Field House.

Scully opened up the running events with a personal-best and ECAC-qualifying time of 17:21.15 in the 5,000-meter run. The Fairfax Station, Virginia, native shaved off a full 11 seconds off her previous best mark to place first in the event.

As Scully impressed on the track in the first track event, junior Charlene Kearns and sophomore Rosemary Brinegar recorded ECAC-qualifying pole vault marks in the first field event. Kearns and Brinegar both crossed over the 11ft-11.75in (3.65m) mark, but Kearns was able to leap over the pole in her first try to garner first-place. Brinegar improved her freshman mark by a full 10 inches.

"I am very proud of our girls and the way they performed in the very first meet of the season," Navy head coach Carla Criste said. "It was great to see the cross country runners compete the way the way they did after just finishing a full season in the fall. Overall, it was just a very good way to begin the season and hopefully we can continue competing like this after the winter break."

Along with the three ECAC qualifying marks, which included two first-place finishes, Navy tallied three more first-place performances, two on the track and one in the field.
